Seve's playing partner Jack Newton who tied for second had a severe almost life-ending accident when he walked into a spinning propeller of the Cessna he was about to board. Luckily survived the accident but lost his right arm and other prolonged issues but rose to become productive and sucessful in his life. He managged to teach himself to play golf wtih one arm often shooting tin the mid-80s. WOW!
Loved Jack Newton.Followed him round at the first open i ever attended at Carnoustie. I remember his caddie stuffing four packs of cigarettes in his bag on the first tee!!😄 Never got to see the playoff as my parents had only booked accomodation to cover the four rounds!! 😔
Thank you for posting this as well as the other years... I've watched a few already and plan on watching most of the others many times... I love the Masters and Augusta National, especially when Persimmon drivers were in play and the course was played as it was supposed too...
Such a pleasure watching golf played by individuals and not automatons. Today they swing the same, wear the same ghastly attire, have all the technology yet score much the same.
I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.

Years ago NBC put mikes in the stands in a game between the Jets and I can't remember the other team and broadcast a game w/o those obnoxious never-shut-up announcers and it was the best football game I've ever watched on tv. This piece of 40 year old tape was just as nice.
Not your usual Masters broadcast. If your'e a Seve fan skip to 46:27. Commentary also begins there. Arnie and Jack playing together some consolation. Seve played Amen Corner +3 and Newton -3 in case your'e wondering.
Seve Ballesteros at his best was the most exciting and gifted player of all time. He lives among the golfing gods as one of the all-time greatest.When they asked Tiger Woods to describe Seve Ballesteros he said one word “GENIUS”
Seve had buckets of charisma, and his style of play, was exciting to behold. The playoff loss, in 1987, seemed particularly hard for him. I believe that he won another Open either at Lytham and St. Anne's, or the "Old Course".
Jack Newton at 15th...narrowly missing his eagle putt to get within one. Then does what every real golfer should do...reaches down for his candy stick for a puff. Beautiful, just beautiful.
It amazes me how on the twelfth hole, how you rarely see a putt made, longer than ten feet. The green looks fairly level, but it refuses to yield many birdies. I think it might have played the toughest, relative to par, in a recent Master's.
Corek BleedingHollow Love how the mic picks up the crowd noise-even chatter. Either crowds today are quieter, or the modern telecast masks all of that out.
what i remember most about that year, was a few months later, Jack would win his 4th US Open, at Baltusrol, and Seve, unforturnately would get stuck in traffic on the way to the course, get there late for his starting time, and get disqualified, which was so unfortunate.
My dad had tickets for the Saturday round at Baltusrol and I was excited by the prospect of being able to see Seve, only to learn on Friday afternoon that he had been DQ'd. I had to console myself by walking 18 holes with the King, who was off with a marker (Dow Finsterwald), and then after a brief lunch with my dad, following the Golden Bear for 18 playing in the final group with Aoki.
Seve Also got swamped in the car park by fans wanting his autograph which delayed him getting to the tee and lead to his disqualification for this event. Along with Jack was favourite for the US Open that year and I think it would’ve been a brilliant spectacle to see them both go down the line against each other.
I love watching old golf to look at the club designs. So so so bad compared to today lol but man I remember growing up and my grandad teaching me early 90s with his wooden drivers. Just recently getting back into golf. In his honor! He was a pga amateur in his days so he taught me well. I JUST CANT GET MY SLICE ON DRIVES TO GO AWAY COMPLETELY!!
11th green after Arnie's approach putt .... Jack:"Nice putt Arnie .... you might not have lost your turn ..." Arnie,after holing putt :"I read in a book by some Nicklaus guy that you should always get past the hole so as to get a read on the return ...." I would love to know what the actual banter was between the two greats.
I remember it as if it were yesterday. Arnie simply just dusted Jack in that final round and we were beginning to wonder if the Golden Bear was done winning majors. Of course, he put that to rest by winning the US Open and PGA later that year, lol. I actually got to see them both at Baltusrol that year on Saturday morning. Followed Arnie for all 18 going off with a marker (Dow Finsterwald), had lunch with my dad, and then followed Jack for all 18 playing with Aoki in the final pairing.
55:25 ‘Eat it up’ and ‘Be a one’. Early prototypes for the later and sadly ubiquitous phrases ‘In the hole’ and ‘Your the man’. 1980 - the times were a-changing. (Sigh).
apparently nicklaus in 1980 had the best combined driving season ,by far,in recent golf history ie distance combined with fairways hit.not approached since
It's unfortunate that this is the only footage available as it is rather odd. The first 45 minutes has only ambient sound with no CBS commentary or graphics, and at times seems to be an edited group of random shots. The last 45 minutes or so is better and has commentary but does not seem to be the exact as-aired version as it has some random shots of cameras being moved and similar things that would normally not be shown. No Butler Cabin ceremony here either.
The first 45 minutes of footage of the final round of the 1980 Masters (only ambient sound with no CBS commentary of graphics, and at times seems to be an edited group of random shots.) The reason, CBS proceeding airing the final round of the 1980 Masters on April 13, 1980 (3:30 PM EST-6 PM EST) had regional coverage of the NBA on CBS: 1980 NBA Playoffs Conference Semifinals coverage (Boston Celtics at Houston Rockets: East, Game 3, Gary Bender and Keith Erickson, Los Angeles Lakers at Phoenix Suns: West, Game 4, Brent Musburger, "Hot Rod" Hundley and Bill Russell) (1 PM EST-3:30 PM EST)
ab348 because the cameras were rolling for highlights but the NBA was on pushing the Masters coverage back. So this is the raw Augusta feed, edited down
Tbh, I like the silent footage a lot more than the commentary one. I only miss the graphic to inform me of the current standings. So silent, so nice and just like it actually is to be at a golf tournament (I attended Sony Open in Hawaii 2018)
Was there ever anything more painful to watch than those Cabin Ceremonies? Check out the 82 with Stadler. It's horrible. They just worked the man over. He won, and they treated him like a freak: "What's with your bad temper? You like being called Walrus?" I wanted to go back 38 years and give Craig a hug
Hmm...no. Up until 1983, all caddies at the Masters were black and employed by Augusta National; golfers were not allowed to bring their own bag jockeys to the tournament. Clifford Roberts himself even is quoted as saying: “As long as I’m alive, golfers will be white and caddies will be black.”
@@barking_mad6649 There is the game of golf, then there is the "culture" of golf - I think the game was better in the 70s/80s (faster play, harder to use equipment, etc etc) but I agree, I wouldn't want to return to the "culture" of golf in the 80s (which you referenced above) cheers
Barking_Mad First, there was not a black only caddie rule at Augusta. Second, he meant the golf was better, he never mentioned the culture of the game and thirdly, people like you that judge so easily a time that you never lived in, should probably look at the hypocrisy in your own life, I’m sure there is a lot. And lastly, him saying golf was better, no matter how he meant it, is his opinion and you have no right to tell him that he can’t feel that way! Go away.
@@GolfAfter50 Actually, I think the depth of players today and quality of PGA fields is much better and more entertaining than the 1980s. I would say the culture of golf as it pertains to amateurs has devolved and you now have cretins on the golf course screaming with every shot, playing music, guys playing from the blues who can barely take the club back and players not following etiquette like repairing ball marks, raking traps and waving groups up to hit on par 3s. Perhaps it has to do with the equipment making the game more accessible to those who won't/can't learn the game properly and view golf as nothing more than a fun-time activity.
Hole-by-hole announcers (1980 Masters) CBS: Vin Scully 10 & 18 Pat Summerall 11 & 12 Ken Venturi 13 Jim Thacker 14 Ben Wright 15 Jack Whitaker 16 Frank Glieber 17
Where Is Seve TV interview and green jacket ceremony? It will be great to hear his words after being the youngest and the first europeas player to win the Master.
I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
Back from the days when Irons were iron & Woods were wood whereby golf equipment technology lasted years before a new breakthrough is released into the market 🏆 👍 🥰
Jack is out of Ohio and was a stand-out amateur before turning pro in 61...he's set...here's the takeaway and the swing...IT'S A HIGH FLYING 1 IRON!....It's a way back...A WAY BACK! IT'S OOON!!!
Who was the pro golfer who hit the tee shot on the 16th hole and put it in the back of the pin? It was noisy with the player over Jack Nicklaus, but it became Ips and disappeared in several years. If I was a coach now, I would have resurrected it immediately.
Yes, he always knew he’d have a short career. During the 79 open, he used to hang upside down for ages each morning to stretch his back. Testament to his ability that he was at the top so long. Think he had some accident with his back whilst boxing as a teenager.
That's the correct pronuncition in Spanish, as the L's are rolled, sounding much like the y's, in the English language. My Spanish teacher, in high school, would likely cringe at my attempt at explaining this i'd think to be a common misunderstanding, as I'm not even able to satisfactorily relate it I'm afraid. But it's something close enough, and I'm late for a tee time. Slainte'
This back when I knew every players name except for some European and Asian tour players, and could tell who the player was by just how their swing looked.
They really beat up on Stadler...check out that one. All they talked about was how he almost blew it, then followed up with questions about his temper and whether he liked being called Walrus. It was beyond cruel.
And 54:00 Jack Newton was about to light one in front of the camera, but decided against it. Those were the times you could improve your conditioning not by lifting weights or something like that: just quit smoking.
I have watched many of these old Masters final day videos, but this is the first one that does not show the Green Jacket presentation. Very disappointing as it’s the great Severiano Ballesteros!
Palmer was at least a dozen years past his prime here (although he had a decent 1980) and we all thought Nicklaus was headed that way after a terrible 1979, only 1 major since 1975 and given the beating Palmer put on him in this final round. But remarkably, Nicklaus rebounded to take 2 of the next 3 majors for his last great year on tour.
True. I remember watching the footage somewhere else. In fact, I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him where I almost showed some of his most painful career moments, but I ended up sharing only sweet memories. I kind of give in to that. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
Knowing Seve, some kind of trick surely. BTW. I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
Pitty the first shot by seve was at the 15th?? Loved watching these thus far but the coverage of seves first win is very poor! Why no commentary for so long? And picture coverage all over the place....compared it to 79 and it's night and day! Shame as seve was a golfing genius great
PresidentGas1 that's ok but seves first shot, the leader was his 2nd shot into 15th....if it was an American like 79 it would have been a different story. if this was the actual cbs coverage it's shambolic
This is simply raw footage of a small group of holes from about 13 through 16 is all. One or two camera guys catching everyone coming through at the time. It's not the TV feed. I like it as this is as close to the feeling of being there that you'll ever get ...
This is all Masters had to come up to upload ?!?! They really don't have better footage of 1980 Masters ?!?! I find that hard to believe. Looks like something some monkeys spliced together and never got edited ?!?! If it's because Ballesteros isn't an American that's crazy. Come on ! Find better footage and re-upload.
It wasn’t being broadcast until you hear the announcers. They decided to broadcast basketball or something. Purely coincidence that a European was winning.
Seve Ballestero's won this Master's, by 4 strokes, and 17 year's later Tiger Wood's, won his first of 5, to date, by 12 strokes, and both were win's that foretold, of more to come. With Wood's, winning a ridiculous 14 more major titles. Seve's being another Green Jacket three years later, and another 2 Opens. Both were credits, as far as inspiring untold persons, to take up the grand game. Buenos dias/noches.
Seve's playing partner Jack Newton who tied for second had a severe almost life-ending accident when he walked into a spinning propeller of the Cessna he was about to board. Luckily survived the accident but lost his right arm and other prolonged issues but rose to become productive and sucessful in his life. He managged to teach himself to play golf wtih one arm often shooting tin the mid-80s. WOW!
First time I heard that story, and wow! Most people who walk into a live prop don't live to tell about it. Newton very fortunate.
RIP Jack Newton
Yes, the accident occurred in Newcastle, Aust when Newton was 33 years old.
Loved Jack Newton.Followed him round at the first open i ever attended at Carnoustie. I remember his caddie stuffing four packs of cigarettes in his bag on the first tee!!😄 Never got to see the playoff as my parents had only booked accomodation to cover the four rounds!! 😔
Wasn't he the guy Watson beat in the 75 Open?
Fabulous how they just got on with it, about a tenth of the time it takes to line puts up nowadays. Great to see Jack and Arnie paired together.
jack is slow....
Yes they also missed more of them.
I’m probably the only person in the world watching this at this exact moment. Your probably the only one too.
Spooky, I was watching it then too
Wow! Amazing I'm am too.
This exact moment!? It’s a year ago. 🤪
Yep I am right now
Just put it on
Great video quality for 1980!
Very first image is Jack's caddy blowing smoke while he's about to hit a shot. Different game back then.
Thank you for posting this as well as the other years... I've watched a few already and plan on watching most of the others many times... I love the Masters and Augusta National, especially when Persimmon drivers were in play and the course was played as it was supposed too...
Yes, you actually had to play golf and the course, not just bomb and gouge.
Such a pleasure watching golf played by individuals and not automatons. Today they swing the same, wear the same ghastly attire, have all the technology yet score much the same.
I actually enjoyed watching the golf like this with no commentary it was fun to try and work out what was happening with the scores
love these old videos !! makes my quarantine more bearable !! we should have 8 majors next year haha
no commentary...bliss, pure golf bliss!
One of the ten th best players ever, and the most carismatic one, Seve Ballesteros.
I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
The best European player ever, unless you want to go back to Harry Vardon.
Yes , my fellow countryman did.
Love Seve. Downloaded and stream his short game video regularly. Miss his presence. My Dad died from complications related to Glioblastoma as well. 😔
Watching Seve as it was playing today..priceless!!..so focused and concentaded
I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
Thank you for the footage during this difficult time. It’s a shame technology can’t improve the quality of the older footage.
Its called Remastering... it's been around for awhile.
I love watching a 44 year old Masters I've come to know every hole over the years.
Next to Tom Weiskoff, I always found Seve's swing the most pleasing to watch
My friend you are not the only one I'm watching this right now..
This is the best golf video I've seen...why? ... golf sounds with no announcers! plus Arnie and Jack pairing...
I also really enjoyed the Palmer, and Nicklaus final round pairing.
What a lovely, graceful performance from Ballerina Sevesteros!
I knew that was coming! Lol

Corek BleedingHollow Love how the mic picks up the crowd noise-even chatter. Either crowds today are quieter, or the modern telecast masks all of that out.
@@scottamichie yeah probably some audio attenuation stuff now blocks out sound under a certain decibel level.
I was 20 years old brings back memories
what i remember most about that year, was a few months later, Jack would win his 4th US Open, at Baltusrol, and Seve, unforturnately would get stuck in traffic on the way to the course, get there late for his starting time, and get disqualified, which was so unfortunate.
My dad had tickets for the Saturday round at Baltusrol and I was excited by the prospect of being able to see Seve, only to learn on Friday afternoon that he had been DQ'd.

I really like this perspective of the tournament.
Stunning old Material thx😮
The behind the back drop is hilarious
Such relaxing audio to listen to. Love golf.
This feels like a home video.
I like Arnie's putting display on #11 2:36 & 4:37 ... padding his putting stats for the day.
He didn't want to give Jack a read on that first putt lol.
Wow, that was great seeing Arnie sink that second putt.
What about the bomb he dropped at 12:20?
Fuzzy's back must have been acting up, he was in serious pain.
11th green after Arnie's approach putt ....
Jack:"Nice putt Arnie .... you might not have lost your turn ..."
Arnie,after holing putt :"I read in a book by some Nicklaus guy that you should always get past the hole so as to get a read on the return ...."
I would love to know what the actual banter was between the two greats.
Zoeller truly wanted to "defend", or rather return, and play as the defending champion. He appeared as though, he ought have been in traction.
I was really enjoying watching this without the commentary, until 46:28 came.
This is a gift! Jack and Arnie at the Masters Nice!

Seve put Europe on the map.
Fellow countryman.
Newton would lose an arm a few years later when he accidentally walked into a propeller.
Jack Newton is baller with the dart and chain
I've never seen them applaud a player on multiple holes. So cool
Love watching Crenshaw putt.
Ken Venturi is a GEM!
My ex-wife used to call me deaf...is it possible, that she may finally be right, about something?
55:25 ‘Eat it up’ and ‘Be a one’.
Early prototypes for the later and sadly ubiquitous phrases ‘In the hole’ and ‘Your the man’. 1980 - the times were a-changing. (Sigh).
Who was that driving the wood panel station wagon around the cart paths at Augusta?
apparently nicklaus in 1980 had the best combined driving season ,by far,in recent golf history ie distance combined with fairways hit.not approached since
And it's a great day for this young Cinderella..Cinderella story 320 yards hes got a out a 9 iron I think
31:19 Where was he aiming that bunker shot? Not even close

Interesting the Ben Wright mentions Seve's back issues as far back as 1979. Would take away years of great golf eventually.
I had to make my own commentary, immitating Ben and Kenny, if course. I can't do Scully.
Jack is out of Ohio and was a stand-out amateur before turning pro in 61...he's set...here's the takeaway and the swing...IT'S A HIGH FLYING 1 IRON!....It's a way back...A WAY BACK! IT'S OOON!!!
RIP Jack Newton
Unfortunately Jack Newton passed away today April 15 at 72 year's of age due to health complications.
RIP Jack Newton. He survived a horrible accident
Who was the pro golfer who hit the tee shot on the 16th hole and put it in the back of the pin? It was noisy with the player over Jack Nicklaus, but it became Ips and disappeared in several years. If I was a coach now, I would have resurrected it immediately.
This is gold !
Seve put European golf on the map 💛❤️💜💚
I love how the commentator says "Baiisteros".
But I never knew Ballesteros had back problems already as early as 1980
Yes, he always knew he’d have a short career. During the 79 open, he used to hang upside down for ages each morning to stretch his back. Testament to his ability that he was at the top so long.
Think he had some accident with his back whilst boxing as a teenager.

2:00 Danny Noonan teeing off on 16...
Is Jack Newton using a Sportsman Wizard 600 putter?
I was just reminded of what happened to Jack Newton.
Genuinely knew nothing about that. Tragic but amazing story. I remember watching a one armed golfer at my local club who could easily out drive me!
This back when I knew every players name except for some European and Asian tour players, and could tell who the player was by just how their swing looked.
1:24:44 "Ballerina Sevesteros"... he just won the Masters, becoming the youngest ever at the time, and that's the anecdote they choose to recount? :-/
There was a lot of American resistance to Seve back then.
Probably also explains the attitude to the final day’s broadcast.
They really beat up on Stadler...check out that one. All they talked about was how he almost blew it, then followed up with questions about his temper and whether he liked being called Walrus. It was beyond cruel.
50:30 dude has a cigarette in his mouth on the green 😂

LOL...Gibby Gilbert a "young man"...
Houston, we're having issues with the space-time continuum...!
Most of them with no sponsors’ names or logos. As late as 1980
Like a poor man shopping in the market. Going to take his time
How come The announcers are not talking
Shockingly poor coverage! Seve not shown until the 15th fairway, laughing bad production, but he was worth the wait, what a swing!
Audio?????
I have watched many of these old Masters final day videos, but this is the first one that does not show the Green Jacket presentation.
Very disappointing as it’s the great Severiano Ballesteros!
Commentary starts at 46:28
I was actually enjoying it up until that point.
1:04:26
What a beautiful drive
Interesting to hear planes flying overhead.
This is absolutely great to watch - Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, both in their prime going head to head. WHAT A TREAT!
Ffd
Kenneth Lee I wouldn’t say Palmer was in his prime at 50.
Great to watch??
Worst coverage of Masters I have ever seen. I though Seve was not even playing up till very late in the coverage. Poor, very poor.
Palmer was at least a dozen years past his prime here (although he had a decent 1980) and we all thought Nicklaus was headed that way after a terrible 1979, only 1 major since 1975 and given the beating Palmer put on him in this final round. But remarkably, Nicklaus rebounded to take 2 of the next 3 majors for his last great year on tour.
I know Seve dumped it in Rae's Creek on 12. Why wasn't it shown here?
True. I remember watching the footage somewhere else. In fact, I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him where I almost showed some of his most painful career moments, but I ended up sharing only sweet memories. I kind of give in to that. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
Why is Seve's caddy tending the pin at 1:22:41 from that close at the 72nd hole of the tournament?
Seve liked having the flag tended even when he was close. I think he felt like he knew exactly where the hole was
I think he uses caddy's right toe as an aimspot
Knowing Seve, some kind of trick surely. BTW. I don't want to paste the link in case YT finds it spammy, but I uploaded recently a Seve Documentary film tribute to him. I think it's very enjoyable. Look for a video where it says "GRACIAS SEVE". Thank you.
It blocks out movement in his line of sight.
Question: why don't more people imitate Hubert Green's putting stance?
Or his swing....but he won a lot!! I miss those days of eccentric swings
Pitty the first shot by seve was at the 15th?? Loved watching these thus far but the coverage of seves first win is very poor! Why no commentary for so long? And picture coverage all over the place....compared it to 79 and it's night and day! Shame as seve was a golfing genius great
I love the fact there's no commentary as it gives one the perspective of actually being there on the grounds.

that's ok but seves first shot, the leader was his 2nd shot into 15th....if it was an American like 79 it would have been a different story. if this was the actual cbs coverage it's shambolic
This is simply raw footage of a small group of holes from about 13 through 16 is all. One or two camera guys catching everyone coming through at the time. It's not the TV feed. I like it as this is as close to the feeling of being there that you'll ever get ...
PresidentGas1 indeed. They barely bothered broadcasting the final round. Different story if Seve hadn’t have been expected to win.
This is all Masters had to come up to upload ?!?! They really don't have better footage of 1980 Masters ?!?! I find that hard to believe. Looks like something some monkeys spliced together and never got edited ?!?! If it's because Ballesteros isn't an American that's crazy. Come on ! Find better footage and re-upload.
Wonder how many folks can claim to have been caught picking his nose on the 17th green at Augusta, ala Jack Newton, on national TV?
Fuzzy Zoeller looks like he's really hurting that year - especially putting.
Palmer's caddy should have laid the flag behind the hole.
were announcers on strike or something?
It wasn’t being broadcast until you hear the announcers. They decided to broadcast basketball or something. Purely coincidence that a European was winning.
No wonder they improved on things on the course, bc it looks like they just punched the greens that day. Putting must have been terrible
Michael Wilber Yeah, those horrible Augusta National greens. It’s a dog track.
Last yr for bermuda greens. Starting in '81 they had slick bentgrass on those hilly greens.
1:04:20 Seve with the wooden club head just drilling it
Nearly 40 mins before the even show seve
I was in England at the moment
Newton was 30 years old here. I would have taken the over at 45 lol.
For real. Dude looks like he could be a grandfather
Seve Ballestero's won this Master's, by 4 strokes, and 17 year's later Tiger Wood's, won his first of 5, to date, by 12 strokes, and both were win's that foretold, of more to come. With Wood's, winning a ridiculous 14 more major titles. Seve's being another Green Jacket three years later, and another 2 Opens. Both were credits, as far as inspiring untold persons, to take up the grand game. Buenos dias/noches.
WHO was the POOR guy who TWICE went to BATH from 40:00 ???
Is Charlie Chaplin playing in this tournament ??????
I love
